Description

1930 Boston Reunion Signed Baseball with Cy Young, James
Collins. Twenty-two thousand spectators came out to pay their
respects to retired greats of the game and support a charitable
cause as Boston Braves Field played host to a benefit game for a
local children's hospital and destitute retired ballplayers. Boston
players from both the Braves and Red Sox faced off against stars
from other teams. As this ONL (Heydler) ball confirms, the cast of
characters was remarkable. Perhaps most noteworthy is the 8/10
black fountain pen autograph of James Collins, the first manager of
the Red Sox and posthumous 1945 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee. His
signature is one of the toughest in Cooperstown, particularly in
this format. Also present here and in the Hall: Cy Young (7/10),
Hugh Duffy (7/10), Tris Speaker (8/10), Eddie Collins (2/10), Harry
Hooper (4/10), Ed Walsh (5/10), Ty Cobb (8/10) and Fred Clarke
(5/10). Other notables include Duffy Lewis, Nick Altrock, Hank
Gowdy, Stuffy McInnes, Fred Tenney. All listed names are quite
readily legible, while a few others challenge the eyes. One of the
greatest assemblies of Dead Ball talent you'll find on horsehide,
and perhaps the only James Collins. Full LOA from
PSA/DNA.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am regarding the sale of my hockey jersey. You were great to work with, you answered all my phone calls and e-mails in a prompt manner, and you did a great job marketing the jersey.
